Trump jumps into Republican primaries for governor in South Carolina, Iowa and Oklahoma
- On Friday, President Donald Trump endorsed three Republican gubernatorial candidates: South Carolina Gov. Pamela Evette, Iowa Rep. Randy Feenstra, and former Oklahoma state senator Mike Mazzei, wading into competitive primary contests across three states.
- All three states are holding their first competitive Republican gubernatorial primaries in years, with Iowa's primary on Tuesday, South Carolina's on June 9, and Oklahoma's on June 16, intensifying the competition for Trump's backing.
- Trump expressed appreciation for Evette, noting she stumped for him in 2024, and added that "A BIG added plus" for her campaign is that Henry McMaster Jr. may be her running mate.
- In a separate post, Trump described Feenstra as "MAGA all the way" and said he would "fight tirelessly" for the state on economy and border security, where Feenstra faces four other Republicans.
- Seeking to replace Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt, Mazzei received Trump's "Complete and Total Endorsement" while competing against Attorney General Gentner Drummond, House Speaker Charles McCall, and Chip Keating.
